Life

edit

Reis was born in 1927 in Vila Nova de Gaia.[2]

He was also teacher at the Lisbon Theatre and Film School for several years.[3] His work and films influenced subsequent directors. This influence originated a cinematographic family referred to by the historian Haden Guest as "The School of Reis".[1] Reis died in Lisbon in September 10, 1991, of undetermined causes.

Margarida Cordeiro, psychiatrist, was assistant director to Jaime (1974) and co-director of Trás-os-Montes (1976), Ana (1985) and Rosa de Areia (1989).[4]

Family
